periods when the future revenues are earned.

Accelerated MethodsAccelerated Methods
Note that total depreciation over the asset’s usefullife is the same as the Straight-line Method.
Accelerated methods result in more depreciation in the early years of an asset’s useful life and less depreciation in later years of an asset’s useful life.

group acquisition cost.Accumulated depreciation records are not maintained

If assets in the group are sold, or new assets added, the composite rate remains the same.
When an asset in the group is sold or retired, debit accumulated depreciation for the difference between the asset’s cost and the proceeds.

The approach is based on the units-of-
production method.
Depletion of Natural ResourcesDepletion of Natural Resources
As natural resources are “used up”, or depleted, the cost of the
natural resources must be allocated to the units extracted.

ABC Mining acquired a tract of land containing ore deposits. Total costs of acquisition and development were
$1,100,000. ABC estimated the land contained 40,000 tons of ore, and that the land will be sold for $100,000 after
the coal is mined.

Amortization of Intangible AssetsAmortization of Intangible Assets
The amortization process uses the straight-line method, but usually assumes residual value = 0.
Amortization period is the shorter of economic life or legal life.
The amortization entry is:
Note that the amortization process does notuse a contra-asset account.

over the remaining useful life.
On January 1, equipment was purchased that cost $30,000, has a useful life of 10 years and no salvage value. At the beginning of the fourth year, it was decided that there were only 5 years
remaining, instead of 7 years. Calculate depreciation expense for the fourth
year using the straight-line method.

On January 1, 2007, Matrix, Inc., purchased equipment for $400,000. Matrix expected a residual value $40,000, and a
service life of 5 years. Matrix uses the double-declining-balance method to depreciate this type of asset. During
2009, the company switched from double-declining balance to straight-line depreciation. Let’s determine the amount of
depreciation to be recorded at the end of 2009.
